Got a bag of cherry shrimps today, decided that it would be good for them to clean up any left over foods as well as the melting cryptos if any, you can see the whole army of them soaking in the bag floating in the tank for temperature to stabilize prior to introduction in the tank!

Very nice, dainty shades of pink and for some, salmon pink, the actually 'fall in' to get into the their new tank.. so cute:

After getting into their tank, they quickly make their way to different places, hiding amongst the crypto wendtii, on the marimo moss balls etc..:

What was once a bushy healthy plants... is not reduced to a state of not more then 10 healthy leaves.

Understand from many sources on the Internet that crypto melt is a common syndrome when the plants are given a change of environment, in terms of lighting levels and duration, pH, etc, which is definitely the case since transplanting.

One thing that comforts me is that I tried tugging at the plants... thankfully, the root systems have seem to be more established.. not as lose as when I planted them..

Hope the beauties will regenerate their crowning glory soon... will update accordingly!
